Moud Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 300 × 390 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Moud of 300 × 390 cm. That is roughly 11.7 m² of floor, about 9.8' × 12.8'. Moud rugs are known for their fine Herati pattern.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
